Somehow I started thinking about Wesley Snipes today and remembered Brian’s hilarious post on Xavier hoops about Snipes. Brian and I loved "New Jack City" and watched it a thousand times. We would dissect the plot and discussed the inner meaning of what “bust a cap on the mowat” meant? (We think it involves champagne).
Brian also believed Wesley Snipes should have received an Academy Award for his nuanced performance as drug king pin Nino Brown.
Check out Brian’s wit and laugh at his “logic:”
The greatest actor of our age
Snipes has played more roles in the modern age than any other actor, if I am wrong let me know who has been in the same/more roles.

Only Brian would think this deep about Wesley Snipes, take the time to research his roles, and post it on a Xavier message board. Yep, that is why we love him and miss his crazy, off the wall stuff that only he could pull off.
Now that you mention it, Matt, he always did find a way to reference "Nino Brown" in casual conversations.
